Hermione seemed to have thought of something because of the gift, and looked at Ryan with wide eyes and disbelief. Ryan nodded seriously.
"What you guessed may be true. Our behavior of accepting this gift should actually be very similar to the beginning of the ancestors of pure-blood families gaining unique powers and becoming pure-blood wizards. If explained using scientific methods, it is a kind of
Targeted genetic variation.”
At this point, Ryan thought of the contents about human body modification left by Slytherin in his secret room. He paused and continued: "Of course, not all pure-blood families obtained this power by signing a contract with a powerful being.
Some powerful wizards have also kept their power in their blood through their research, and then passed it on from generation to generation."
"With the power passed down by blood, the ancestors of these pure-blood wizard families gained unprecedented advantages. After all, the wizards were still in the process of exploring the application of magic at that time. Relying on the power passed down by blood can ensure that the entire
The family will not cut off the inheritance due to various reasons."
"After establishing an advantage, they naturally obtained more resources. The more resources, the greater the advantage. In such a virtuous cycle, the family power also expanded like a snowball, and finally formed the pure family that dominates the British wizarding world today.
Blood family. The reason why they are called pure blood is because in the early years, in order to maintain the power of their blood, they had to resort to incest marriage."
"However, as time goes by, the power of even close relatives' bloodline will gradually fade away. Your parents are dentists, so you should know that such close relatives' marriages are very harmful. So a large number of pure-blood families have to choose to marry other families.
Pure-blood and even hemp wizards intermarried, but because they had accumulated enough advantages before, even if the power in their bloodline completely disappeared, their dominance would not be jeopardized.
Naturally, there are also stubborn families, but they have slowly disappeared in the long river of history. So now I know that there are only two families left that can inherit the power of their ancestors in their blood."
"Wait a minute, the mysterious man is said to be a natural Parseltongue. Could it be that his family is one of the families that has inherited the power of blood." Hermione asked his question after listening to Ryan's explanation.
"You're right. I was looking through old newspapers in the school library and found out that the Gaunt family is the descendant of Slytherin. However, from the newspapers a hundred years ago, that family was characterized by violent tempers and mental problems caused by incest.
And famous for their extravagant spending, until the family disappeared completely 50 years ago. The last member was imprisoned in Azkaban for killing Muggles, and finally died there. The other one belonged to our principal Dumbledore's family.
The ancestral Phoenix, fortunately, their family has signed a long-term contract with the Immortal Seed, so there is no need for incest marriage like the Gunter family."
"So that's it." Hermione nodded, then picked up the tea cup and began to drink tea quietly. Only then did Ryan realize that in addition to these two drops of blood, he also got some things from the pyramid as trophies. But until
This world has always been busy and he has always ignored the existence of this trophy.
Hermione was sipping hot tea when she suddenly heard a crash. She looked around and saw Ryan taking a dirty animal skin bag from his belt and placing it on the table.
"What is this?" Hermione asked curiously, fanning the dust with her left hand.
"The loot from killing the Blood God in the temple last time. I was so busy that I even forgot about it. I just remembered it when you mentioned it. Let me see what's inside?"
This was the time to open the box that everyone loved. Ryan rubbed his hands and prayed before opening the bag. What surprised him was that although this bag was a space bag, the space inside was very small, at most one size larger than an ordinary schoolbag. It’s just a circle.
"Why is the space so small?" Ryan complained with some dissatisfaction.
"You must know that space equipment that can be carried with you was very rare a thousand years ago. What was popular at that time was to use certain creatures with natural space power to process them as space bags. For example, the one in front of us is obviously made of some kind of space bag. The skin of the animal was completely peeled off and shrunk to the size of a palm using special means." Hermione said after placing the tea cup on the saucer.
Sure enough, after Ryan looked carefully, he found the limbs and tail of an animal on the bag, and the animal's mouth was made into the opening of the bag.
"How did you know about this situation?"
"Obviously this is something that was taught in class, but it shows that you didn't listen carefully at all in Professor Binns' class. He specifically mentioned this when he was talking about the magical world thousands of years ago." Hermione spoke quickly. Said this sentence.
"It's not my fault." Ryan shrugged. "Except for you, I really can't think of anyone else who can listen carefully to the entire class in Professor Binns' class."
After speaking, Ryan took out a forearm-long plain gold box and several medicine bottles made of natural crystal from his bag. Through the bottles, he could see some dark things piled at the bottom of the bottles.
"This should be the blood of some magical creatures, but unfortunately it has been damaged for too long." Ryan looked at a few bottles and uncorked them, sniffed them and put the bottles aside. Then he put the gold box Brought it over.
There was only one buckle on the gold box. Ryan took the gold box to the middle of the living room and used magic to open the buckle.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a dead scorpion fell out.
"This is a very rare rune golden scorpion, which is highly poisonous. It should be the little pet of the blood god. Unfortunately, the blood god also died as soon as he died." Ryan turned around to explain to Hermione that while he was speaking, that scorpion The dead scorpion quickly turned into a pile of ashes.
Ryan returned to the table with the box. There was a silver dagger in the box, and there were a lot of words engraved on the lid of the box. After looking at it for a while, he realized that it was actually a letter, which described how he was at that time. He was injured in the process of seizing the Blood Origin Stone. This box contained the weapon that injured him back then. He vowed that one day he would bring this weapon back to his master.
"It seems that his blood source stone was found in Europe, because this dagger is obviously European style." After pouring the dagger out, Ryan looked at the silver dagger inlaid with rubies and said.
"I think we found something good." Hermione picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully, and then said with some excitement.
"Oh, when did you learn antique appraisal?" Ryan asked curiously. Because from this dagger, he could only determine that it was a European medieval style and might have been made by a goblin. He couldn't judge anything else. So he was very confused. I'm curious how Hermione identified it.
"Well, isn't this written clearly?" Hermione pointed to the guard part of the dagger, and Ryan discovered that there was a series of letters engraved on it.
"I'm still a little careless." Ryan took the dagger and looked at the letters, and was surprised to find that the words engraved on the dagger's guard were a very familiar name: Godric Gryffindor.
